If you go around the back you find this



I took this 3 years ago, so not sure what state it is in now?

I went through the Gores jumping 8-9 years at a time from 1880 up to the mid 1930's and 146 is regularly listed as a grocers or shop.

it's possible that the sign on the side could just be advertising. although I can see what you mean about it looking like a pub. shame the photographer didn't quite get a bit more of the building on the right in.

sorry I wasn't much help.

Many thanks anyway, Quincy! I've seen that photo many times, and it's just odd, that some people do know, so much about that area, but no-one has ever been able to identify that building,for certain! I wonder if the"Scottie"press might know?
Thanks again,Steve.
